Glad you found the timing problem and glad it is running well now, but a whole keyway ... that is a lot of advance!

.020 is about 5 or 6 degrees, and the key is usually about .078, so that is about 20 degrees of extra advance ... Ouch!

Good luck with it at the GTG, can't wait to see pics of it.

It would be alot on a OEM saw but who knows where the timing actually is on the chinese saws. It may be a bit much but as long as it don't pop in the cut I'll run it. It made a huge difference in throttle response and a much more aggressive sounding idle.

Might be able to go 2 or 3 key widths, maybe more, on a chinese 066 before any adverse effects
